This is a little impressionistic sketch I did this morning.  Its a Russian Olive branch.  Not as detailed as my aspen branch and I love the color!  I was experimenting with diox purple and sap green.  Its fun to use those two mixed together to get your darkest value. (black?) You can bend it either warm or cool, depending on what you're after.

I'm OBSESSED with getting my canvases larger, so I'm stretching up a few big'uns today!
